Southpoint drop mysterious Bushbaby trailer and we can’t work out what’s going on?

Now unless you’ve been living under a very hefty rock for the last couple of years, you will undoubtedly have heard of Bushbaby. One of Lengoland and the bass scene revivals best success stories, the Brighton/Bristol based producer has been releasing banger after banger, steadily pushing his crisp neuro-bass sound to the tops of charts and line-ups.

With the success of Bushbaby’s ‘Force’ EP still ringing in our ears, backed up with a fair smattering of singles, it would appear time for something new… Last Friday saw the release of the trailer for Bushbaby’s latest EP ‘Phengophobia’, shedding some light (ironically, of course considering the EP’s title) on what we can expect next from the man himself. We see the EP starts off with a track entitled ‘Hold Up’, with an unmistakable Dre sample leading us straight into a bouncy and high energy 4×4 beat.

The next track, ‘Montana’, takes a much darker turn, with Dread MC’s pitched vocals setting the vibe over a nefarious broken beat. Last but not least, we’re teased with the atmospheric arpeggios of the title track ‘Phengophobia’, taming the explosive energy conjured from the EP’s other two tracks.

And that’s it. That’s all we’re getting in this trailer. Not even a release date! Fear not, this is intentional; it’s a surprise..! You’ll have to follow Bushbaby and Southpoint respectively for more details…

It’s a very exciting time for UKG as a scene, with numerous different labels, both old school and new flourishing in a rapidly widening field of fortune. We are seeing some super impressive work from the likes of Four40, Slime, , Beastwang, Kiwi and a host of other names, giving the scene a real injection of vibrancy and fun, which is leading to more producers getting involved in the UK’s go-to summer sound.

The Brighton based label has always been seen as a forward thinking imprint, always looking to get involved with the next sound and be a part of what is new and vibrant within bass music. Their extensive roster has seen some top draw names pass through over the years, including the likes of Bushbaby, Skepsis, Darkly, Distinct, Freddie Martin, Zero and more.

What better way to kick off a monday than with an exclusive premiere eh?Today we are heading over to LA, one of the new leading lights in the American Bass scene, with a tonne of new and exciting artists emerging from the mist every day. We are absolutely loving the American influence on world bass music, with an influx of more techy influences and glitchy, poppy percussive additions making their way into more and more original creations.
